About: I have experience working with senior dogs with special needs as well as younger, higher energy dogs! Each pet has their own unique personality and care needs and I strive to meet each of those to make your pets time away from their family as seamless/normal as possible, with peace of mind for the owner. I’m currently working pet care full time and my availability is everyday! I’m very flexible with times or travel restrictions to make things easiest for the client! If life happens, I do my best to accommodate changes. I don’t offer services in my own home, but at a clients home I follow all of their given instructions! I prefer to do a meet up with the pet and client to establish familiarity with the pet. Clients typically show me around their home and notify me of any details related to their pet or care instructions for the home if needed. If the client allows, I will play with their pets, take them on walks, etc.
About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs for over 13 years and have done plenty of dog and house sitting for different families. I really enjoy getting to know each pup and making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog loves to play or prefers to relax, I’m happy to spend time with them and give them the attention they need. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’d love to meet you and your pups! I’m available early mornings, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoons, plus most evenings. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple dogs at once. Happy to figure out the schedule that works best! I care for pets in the comfort of their own home through visits and dog walks. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. Whether your pup needs a walk, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, or just some company, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.
“Naomi was absolutely wonderful with our two cats! She was flexible, available last minute, and understood both of their needs perfectly. She sent great photos and videos so we were assured they were happy. I would definitely recommend Naomi to watch your pets!”
About: As w most people here i have a love for animals and am on track for a career in veterinary medicine. I have a dog of my own but also have a wide range of skills with many different animals (rodent, reptiles, various exotics, etc) due to my experience working in and completing a two year BOCES program for veterinary medicine assisting which included dogs and cats ofc. I currently volunteer at a shelter walking the dogs there so I'm equipped to handle dogs of many sizes and temperaments. I also have experience working w cats of various sizes and temperaments from a separate shelter. I'm very good w adjusting my technique and handling for different animals in order to safely and properly handle them in the ways they need/ feel comfortable. Im confident in my skills and always willing to learn/ experience new situations. sooo yea im here☺️ I currently have a part-time job, but it has very flexible hours and while I am a student, I usually take these jobs on during breaks or downtime so I have open availability. I do personally have a fenced backyard and a dog back home usually if I’m hosting another dog I do my best to keep their schedules consistent but separate as my dog is very selective. Usually, I will do pet sitting at the other dog’s house where I can completely make sure that they are comfortable in their environment and follow their routine as close as possible.
“Katharine was great! I'm still nervous leaving our new puppy and she was very communicative and made sure to send lots of pictures so I knew how they were doing! We'll definitely be asking her to stay with Murphy and Maisie again!!”
“Samantha was great! She took the time to meet with us before her visits to make sure everything was in order and sent great updates and pictures each day. She was flexible and even able to add on an extra day when our plans changed. Would definitely use her again in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life and take pride in providing attentive, active care. I’m certified in behavior analysis which comes in handy when reading what a dog needs in that moment and develop new skills. Being a foster dog mom to a beautiful pitty has also depend my experience with working with different personalities and needs. I love incorporating engaging and enriching activities for my pups to support development and mental stimulation. I’m currently working a full time job Monday through Friday 9 to 5 but, I am also available all day Saturday through Sunday. Monday through Friday I can be free to provide evening walks and potty breaks. On weekends I can provide walks, potty breaks and dog sitting. While I do not provide boarding at my home due to having limited space, I am available to do the dog sitting in your home. In my home with my current foster, it has been important with keeping her schedule consistent to help with her anxiety. This means that I play an important role with sticking to the schedule we have set. We also focus on redirecting her anxiety to preferred activities or toys like her bones or even letting her run it off in the back yard. She is very affectionate so I am also used to giving her lots of praise when she is doing things she is supposed to be doing and giving her lots of hugs when she cues for them.
“What a pleasure it was meeting Karissa to care for our pup! She left us updated every day and shared what she was doing on each visit! Can't thank her enough for making our trip stress free! Will definitely contact her for future vacations! Gia also thanks you Karissa for taking care of her every need!! Thanks!?”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and other animals throughout my whole childhood and now I have my own cat that has been my best friend for about 12 years! I’m a full time Mental HealthCare worker and part time student but I do have lots of free time that I would love to fill with some of my own personal form of pet therapy ! I work 7am - 3pm, 5 days a week and am more than willing to spend the rest of my evening taking care of your loved ones ! I live in a house with my cat, and I will be more than happy to keep your pet and my pet in separate rooms, if there were to stay in my home.
“My family and I are so grateful to have connected with Lauren! Having just moved and not knowing anybody in the area to look after our dogs, I was nervous about finding someone to help us out while we were away for a long weekend at the beach. My dogs took to Lauren immediately! She is extremely nice, down to Earth, responsive and reliable. I felt extremely comfortable with her in our home. She sent photos and updates of the pups during her visits as well. Highly recommend and am excited to book her again in the near future!”
“Natasha did an excellent job getting our skittish Springer Spaniel to warm up and make friends while we were away. Natasha was able to get Maisie to calm down and relax by just being calm and sensitive to her fears and protective instincts. We plan to use Natasha again.”
About: Hi, I’m Mindy — I run MindySits 🐾 I treat every pet like my own, simple as that. I’m patient, reliable, and pay attention to what each dog actually needs. Beyond pet sitting, I’m deeply involved in the rescue community and serve as a Foster Manager with BARRK Rescue, where I help oversee placements, guide fosters, and support dogs coming from difficult or uncertain backgrounds. This experience has given me a strong understanding of behavior, decompression, and how to meet each dog exactly where they are. Whether it’s walks or overnight care, I keep things calm, consistent, and make sure your pet is comfortable and well cared for. I’ll also keep you updated so you’re never wondering how things are going. Dependable care and a happy dog that’s always the goal 💛🐶 Hi! I work a hybrid schedule, home 2 days a week. My husband is home so your pup will rarely be alone. I have always been happiest with a dog close by. I live with my husband, daughter, and our dog Willie 🐾 We’re a calm, dog-loving home and I just really enjoy having animals around. I also help care for a senior dog, so I’m patient, gentle, and pay attention to what each dog needs. I’m easygoing but attentive, and I make sure every dog feels safe and comfortable while they’re with me
About: I’ve taken care of my dog like a child since I was 5 and I love all dogs with my whole heart no matter the size or breed i’m available in the mornings and after I work at 7 I also am free on my off days of work to take care of pets I have a fenced yard and an a pen to put the dogs in. I also have many supplies like food toys and a leash to keep dogs entertained
About: I had a German shepherd for 11 years who always got treated like royalty; from her cozy bedding for her afternoon naps, to her healthy-quality treats, and even me changing up the route of her walk so she doesn't get bored, are a few things I do for her that keeps her energy and mood up. I have a huge heart and just genuinely care about living things because they have feelings too. Generally, I am a pretty reliable person; I don't have children and Rover Pet Care seems like the perfect position to supplement my schedule with emotional rewards. While caring for pets, I always keep an eye on them at all times (they can get into things that they aren't supposed to sometimes), when walking my dog, I never let her be in control and is trained to walk by my side with obedience. Treats should be given sparingly and after they have listened to a command. Lastly, discipline is important, especially at puppy stages in order for them to know what is right and wrong.
About: I was raised with pets. Since my childhood, I have had cats and dogs. I have also potty trained, provided basic training (walking on leash, not pulling, socialization) for dogs. I am a dog grandma to a cockapoo and pitbull who adore me and drive their parents crazy when I am around because I spoil them. I have experience with dogs, cats and some farm animals (cows, chicken) from my yearly summer visits to Guatemala. Like Children, pets take to me because of my loving nature. I am a nurturer and enjoy the company of animals. There seems to be genuine connections. I enjoy their company, cuddling and talking to them. I will treat your babies as if they were my own. Although, I may not allow pets on furniture, if they are used to it, there is always an exception to the rule. They will always feel as if they were at home. Let's meet and I can guarantee your pet will have a great connection with me. I am available to pet sit at your home or mine. Either way, "mi casa" will be "their casa." I don’t mind cat sitting. However, it would be best to care for them in your home as I recently found out, my live in boyfriend is allergic. I currently work from home 3 times a week and my husband twice a week. We have a spacious backyard and can provide their daily activity as needed. We also have the flexibility to walk our furry friends (as requested). Please note: your pets will have their own space and will get lots of love from us. We have a fenced yard with plenty of space and a friendly furry friend. We are available for a meet and greet before finalizing a booking.
About: I’ve taken care of various breeds of dogs over the past 11 years — including my own, other family members’, as well as friends’ and acquaintances’ — whether it’s for a walk around the neighborhood or spending some quality time while the family’s away Being a teacher, my week availability doesn’t really start till 3:30 (unless there’s a break). However, my weekends are more open, so I have more availability to stop by and visit with your pups! While visiting with your pet, I will keep an eye on them during walks and potty breaks, making sure they are secure on their leash and in their yard.
About: With a lifetime of experience caring for various types of pets, including cats, dogs, and birds, I am well-equipped to provide excellent pet care. My one year old dog is my pride and joy, and I have also cared for a six year old German shepherd mix and a quaker parrot named Tito. Friends and family have entrusted me with the care of their pets for years, relying on my responsible and loving nature to ensure their well-being in times of need. I am dedicated, trustworthy, and passionate about providing the best possible care for all furry and feathered friends. As a teacher with summers off, I have the flexibility and availability to dedicate my time to caring for others' pets. With my regular job on hold during the summer months, I can commit to providing reliable and attentive pet care services on most days. I value this opportunity to extend my passion for nurturing and teaching to the well-being of beloved pets, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve while their owners are away. When caring for pets in the client's home, I prioritize creating a comfortable and familiar environment for the animals while their owners are away. I follow the established routines and instructions provided by the pet owners, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special requirements such as medication administration. I ensure the pets feel safe and secure in their own surroundings by providing them with companionship, playtime, and attention to keep them happy and engaged. Additionally, I maintain open communication with the pet owners to provide updates on their furry friends and address any concerns promptly. By offering personalized care in the client's home, I aim to provide peace of mind to pet owners knowing their beloved animals are in good hands while they are away.

Samantha is an excellent sitter. While we were away for more than a week, she sent photos and updates after each visit. Our dog is very comfortable in her care. Samantha is reliable, attentive and goes above & beyond. This was our second booking with her, and we will continue to book her as long as she is available.
Lily has been watching our pups and house sitting for us for the last year and we are so lucky to have her! She takes amazing care of our three pups (a very shy and particular husky, a golden, and a super high energy Dutch shepherd). She manages each pups personality beautifully and all three love her, which is a big deal considering our girl dog is very particular with who she lets care for her! We never have to worry when we go away because we know that the dogs love Lily and she has a ton of experience to manage all of the different breeds and their needs! She also takes amazing care of our home and our fish while she’s here! We can’t recommend Lily highly enough!
Janhvi provided such great care to my dog, Gracie. She gave Gracie lots of attention and I had such peace of mind that my dog was in excellent hands. I was also grateful that at each visit she notified me and sent photos for me to see how happy Gracie was in her care.
Leaving your pets behind can be stressful, but with Suzanne, I have complete peace of mind. She looks after my two dogs with the exact same love, patience, and attention to detail that I do. She keeps me updated, manages their routines effortlessly, and my pups absolutely adore her—their tails start wagging the second they see her! If you are looking for someone reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely passionate about animals, look no further. I couldn't recommend her more highly!
Here’s a polished review you can use: 5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jada did an excellent job taking care of our 14-year-old Cockapoo, Mickey, while we were traveling. Mickey requires medication, and Jada was very reliable in making sure he received all of his medications on schedule. She took him for walks, provided his food, and made sure he had regular pee and poop breaks. Jada was always on time for her visits and was very prompt with her updates, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, she was wonderful with Mickey and treated him with care and patience. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog. I would highly recommend Jada to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable pet sitter.
My family and I are so grateful to have connected with Lauren! Having just moved and not knowing anybody in the area to look after our dogs, I was nervous about finding someone to help us out while we were away for a long weekend at the beach. My dogs took to Lauren immediately! She is extremely nice, down to Earth, responsive and reliable. I felt extremely comfortable with her in our home. She sent photos and updates of the pups during her visits as well. Highly recommend and am excited to book her again in the near future!
Sydney was great. We were very apprehensive about leaving Penny alone. We were going away and our usual sitter had a last-minute change of plans. She doesn't do well boarding anywhere so we had Sydney stop in to dogsit. She was great with communication and did everything we asked to make our dog feel more comfortable with us not being home. I would 100% have her do this again if we needed. Thank you.
Elaina has been taking care of Max and Coco 4 days a week for several months now and they both just adore her! I have found Elaina to be loving and attentive with both, even getting Max to take his medicine even though he is a pretty stubborn little man! Elaina has been great about communicating with me after each visit and has been super flexible in terms of our schedule. Simply put, you will not find a better friend and care giver for your pet! Thanks Elaina!!

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
